Pretending to have a heart attack, the girl tricked the 'bluebeard'
While being raped, Hue pretended to have a heart attack and asked Tung to take her to the hospital, then shouted for help.
On the afternoon of March 14, the Hanoi People's Court opened an appeal hearing to consider the request for a reduced sentence for Vi Van Tung (27 years old, from Bac Giang) for the crime of Rape (Clause 1, Article 111, 1999 Penal Code). However, before the trial took place, Tung withdrew his appeal.
According to the first instance verdict nearly three months ago by the People's Court of Bac Tu Liem District, Tung met Hue through Facebook a year ago. On August 26, 2017, Tung took his motorbike to pick her up and take her to the walking street of Hoan Kiem Lake.
After that, Tung took the girl to the West Lake roadside to drink water. At around 10:30 p.m. the same day, Hue wanted to go home because it was late, Tung pretended to agree because he wanted to have sex.
Knowing that Hue did not know the way, Tung drove her around to the Red River dike (Lien Mac ward, Bac Tu Liem district). The girl wanted to go home because the road was deserted and far from the residential area, but Tung did not listen.
Hue jumped out of the car but was grabbed by the pervert, then threatened and raped. While being raped by Tung, the girl pretended to have a heart attack and told Tung to go buy medicine to escape from him.
Since the pharmacies were closed, Tung drove Hue to Nam Thang Long Hospital for a check-up. Seeing the police nearby, the girl immediately called for help. Tung sped away but was arrested the next day.
Tung was sentenced to 24 months in prison.
